First!

...Trying first to get comfortable with Friendster's BLOG feature.  I'll start with a poem, this one has been etched in my mind for so long, i can even recite it backwards, lol :D

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit --
Rest if you must but don't quit!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is farther than it seems,
to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have won the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Sucess if failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the coulds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
You may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you musn't quit.
